LOST -10

Finally! One winning bet. As suspected Arsenal were lacking in options up front, completely giving up in the 2nd half. It didn't help that Fenerbahce were timid and didn't try to take advantage of the situation by trying to grab a goal. Man Utd will prove a tougher proposition this weekend, so even though its still too early I will probably be taking Man Utd to win or a draw.

Anyways, on to today's UEFA cup picks!

Match: Slavia Praha - Aston Villa
Pick: Slavia Praha DNB
Odds: *tbc*
Stake: 5 units

Aston Villa are playing really badly now. Their early season form was due to their high work rate and energy, but they really do look like a spent force when they played Monday and I can't see that improving having had to travel and only 3 days between games. Slavia Prague on the other hand are doing well in their domestic league, so in my eyes they're favorites to get something from this game.

Match: Tottenham - Dinamo Zagreb
Pick: Dinamo Zagreb +1.25 Asian Handicap
Odds: *tbc*
Stake: 5 units

Tottenham have been invincible the last few matches with their new manager, but for this match they are missing alot of first team players who are cup tied, and will be light up front. Its a dangerous bet as they will be gung-ho with confidence flowing through their veins, but I think Dinamo have chances as well to grab goals and if they defend decently should be able to do well. Line is so high only because of Tottenham's miracles over the last few games!

Sorry that I am unable to enter odds, but I placed the bets in a hurry this morning before leaving for work and now at work I can't check my bets because all the betting sites are blocked.
